Mockumentary about vampires living in modern-day New Zealand manages to mix darkness, pathos, and a huge amount of silliness with surprisingly effective results. Excitement builds as the premier undead social event of the year approaches, but apart from the everynight realities of vampire existence - finding prey, looking good without a mirror, doing the washing-up - the documentary subjects have other concerns, such as new vampires in their turf, a pack of mild-mannered werewolves, and their various exes.

Takes the horror element just seriously enough not to feel completely frivolous, and there are many references to and spoofs of other bits of vampire lore. Nevertheless, largely powered along by another energetic comic performance from Taika Waititi, although the rest of the ensemble is also good. Polished production and pretty good effects too, given the low budget (that's modern computers for you I guess). Not exactly ground-breaking stuff but consistently amusing.

good enough for me to want to continue with the series.
Independent reviewer for Book Sirens, I was gofted my copy of this book.

This is the first book in the Beyond The Mist series, and as such lays down the ground work, the background into these vampires and how they came to be.

I enjoyed it, I did. It didn't blow me away, but it's left me intrigued enough to want to continue on with the series.

Not least because there are a whole host of characters we meet here who now need their stories. Korinna, especially and Roman, I think, needs a happy ever after. Andrei's brothers too.

Some smexy times, some violence, some darker themes. Vampires who shift! I liked that, it's different.

All in all, a good read, for me, but not a great one.

so, 3 stars, but I will continue with the series.

*same worded review will appear elsewhere

Justice sacrifices him self for his brother who he could never tell and he lands in the void. Keeley has a gift of object reading that causes all around her to think she is crazy. When they meet an the adventure that follows they realize that only together can they be whole. My favorite Warrior of Poseidon. It is a wonderful tale of hope and love with destroying a few vampires in the mix.
